Tableau connection/ download data

[matheusld2]

Hello!

I need to download to my Alteryx workflow a table that's on a Tableau online dashboard. Is it possible to do it ? If possible, how? I know the ideal solution would be to connect it directly to the data source, but I don't have the necessary access at this point.

Thanks!

Hey @matheusld2,

Have you seen the Tableau Output Tool - Alteryx Community tool, you can download it from the public gallery. It might be what you need?

@matheusld2 depending on how your site owner/admin has set up your permissions, you may be able to download the data (as Crosstab will give you a choice of Excel/csv) and use that? Although this screenshot is from Public, it ought to be similar for Online:

Even if this does work, there'd likely be extra cleansing needed to get rid of tooltip fields etc and so you really would be best off trying to gain access and connecting directly to the data source directly.
